Scrap VAT on defibrillators that saved my life

Available for over a year

Eight months since suffering a cardiac arrest, Jack Hurley has set up a campaign calling for the tax on Defibrillators to be scrapped. 20-year-old Jack from Claybrook Magna was playing football last June when he collapsed and his life was saved through a defib which restarted his heart. Jack's petition for VAT to be scrapped on the price of Defibs has now reached nearly eighty thousand signatures. Ady Dayman spoke to Jack and his dad Colin to find out why.
